Mingyue gritted her teeth and poured more lifeforce.
Purple ice crawled over her blades and hooked into the scales.
Alex's hands moved in the air, drawing another rune.
BAM!!!
He planted it into the ground.
Red lines spread under Saryx like veins.
The moment Saryx tried to burst outward, the ground rune flared, raising the gravity around him multiple times.
Mingyue saw the opportunity. She pulled her blades out and crossed them in front of her chest.
The lotus seals around Saryx spun and stacked, one layer over another, forming a spiral of purple frost and space cuts.
"Thousand Lotus Voidfrost Burial," Mingyue said again. "Second Bloom."
The spiral collapsed inward.
Saryx's violent aura slammed into it and started erasing petals from the outside.
Mingyue's lifeforce burned through her arms as she forced the petals to regenerate faster.
The fire fox drove its head into Saryx's chest and held him there.
White flame poured upward, coating Saryx's throat and jaw.
